Higgs Boson is an English keyboardist-composer who specialises in an exhilarating and unique form of jazz/world fusion that marries music, art & science.
Higgs’ music is inspired by the edges of science, where the imagination starts to take over; the source being an imaginary sub-atomic particle (aka the ‘God’ particle) associated with the beginning of time! Higgs Boson draws inspiration from the elusive particle of the same name. GoTo www.higgsboson.com
In 1996 Higgs exploded onto the European jazz scene with a critically-acclaimed debut album, which recently received high praise from the likes of Alphonse Mouzon and Tony Levin. In the early 1990’s Higgs was signed to Elysium Records and followed this by producing a self-named CD on FHP Records. The album received excellent reviews from the British music press and was featured on a number of national network radio programmes including Humphrey Lyttleton’s “Best of Jazz on Record” show on BBC Radio 2.
Higgs put together a group of exceptional musicians for this album and was the first jazz project totally controlled by Higgs from composition through to final production, helped by Gareth Young, an internationally acclaimed pop producer and Jo Partridge guitarist on Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds.
Higgs lists some of his main influences as Pink Floyd, Debussy, The Beatles, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Oscar Peterson, Camel, Yes, Genesis, Dudley Moore, The Who, and Bill Bruford, to name but a few…

Hmmmmm *sounds like bad midi* - I thought midi did not actually make a sound, let alone a bad one? I thought ‘midi’ was the means by which instruments and computers communicate, it’s an interface, and one which is used by just about every musician on the planet, including the Floyd, I would imagine. So, you’ve happened upon a complete contradiction in terms to describe, in a rather derogatory way, one of the best musicians around. Well done! Perhaps you’d like to point everyone to your artistic endeavor’s…..
